How do I backout of Firefox 4 to an earlier version

Howdy,
I downloaded Version 4 last week and it is working well except that one of my apps (digitalPersona) which provides fingerprint logins does not work. In fact dP sent an email stating that it has not been updated to work with either Firefox 4.0 or IE9 (see below)
I need to backout to the previous version of Firefox with out loosing my all of my bookmarks etc. Is there a way

You will probably not lose your bookmarks or passwords but it's not a bad idea to export things like that to import them into the older versions later if you need to.

Firefox has disabled Webroot which is my security against malware intrusion. I NEED Webroot to be acitve because of all the sites I go to. How do I get my Firefox back to the earlier version that it was so I can use my Webroot?

Firefox keeps updating itself even though I don't want it to. Now that I have Firefox 5.0 it won't let my Webroot work. I may have to get rid of my Firefox altogether if this persists.

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

How do I get Mozilla Firefox GB version to download? because all I keep getting is the US version, which is conflicting with AYI (Are You Interested) on Facebook. Which won't allow me to access my messages, browse and see who's viewed me on this site. But I have had Mozilla Firefox before (English version) and it as allowed me acces to AYI on Facebook. so I cannot understand why the US version won't allow the same access to AYI on Facebook?

How do i remove a firefox update, to a previous version

an add on no longer works since i updated firefox to 22, how do i put back firefox to the previous version, before the update

Please refer to this page before taking further action, please: http://mzl.la/MOvsag
If you still need to downgrade to the version you were using before the upgrade, there is a website (linked on the page I just asked you to check out) listing the older versions. You might be successful in reverting back to an older version by installing Firefox from that page.

The FAFSA website only recognizes Firefox 4.0 or earlier versions. How can I get a compatible Firefox version so I can access the FAFSA site properly?

Is there a way to use or restore an earlier version of firefox so I can complete the FAFSA form that is mandatory for me to complete?

The fafsa.gov site does not currently support Firefox newer versions. That is their choice.

'''''NOTE:''''' Support for the Firefox 3.6.x versions will be ending soon, possibly in April. Downgrading to Firefox 3.6.x at this point may be unwise to access just that one site.
You can install '''Firefox Portable''' version to use only on that site and use your installed current Firefox version for everything else. Firefox Portable is not produced by Mozilla (but is based on Firefox released versions) and is not supported on this site -- has its own support forum (see below). Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive so that it does not interfere with your currently installed Firefox version settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin/jump drive.

How do I save a Numbers spreadsheet as an earlier version

I have just upgraded to Yosemite from Snow Leopard. I have a spreadsheet which I have sent to a third party and they are unable to open it as they are on an earlier version of Numbers. How do I save my spreadsheet in the format which they can open?

In the current version of Numbers you can use the File Menu Export item to save to a Numbers 09 compatible file.

I switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox and was so happy. Then I took the prompt and converted to Firefox 4.0 and now my computer is so slow it is almost unbearable. How do I switch back to Firefox 3 or some earlier version to get my speed back?

It takes a long time for the computer to warm up and start working, maybe 30 seconds. Just to open an email can take 10 seconds. This is the kind of delay I was experiencing on Internet Explorer before I switched to Firefox 3. It is particularly slow if I am opening a photo attachment. It also can be slow just moving from one tab to another. Help!

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use
your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of
installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

How can I get regular Firefox and not the "Yahoo" version?

I want firefox, but I don't like the version where I always have the yahoo search page and it won't let me set my own home page.

It is because you might have downloaded the optimised version of Mozilla Firefox made for Yahoo!
Do a fresh reinstallation of Mozilla firefox's appropriate version.
You can download it from here: Firefox 21.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
And yes if you have an add-on of Yahoo search toolbar then you can disable it from the firefox installation toolbars.
Remember do not download the optimised version made for yahoo. As it will only have that yahoo search home page!
Thank You!

How can I access the add-ons from my earlier version of Firefox?

Firefox disappeared from my computer after a malware attack. Unfortunartely, my add-ons and extensions have also disappeared. I've tried to re-install my original Firefox 4, but without success. Firefox 9.01 has been installed and I cannot access my original Firefox 4 and m;y add-ons and extensions. Can anybody help please. in English

As far as i understand the plugins are installed in the 'plugins' directory (look for this inside the directory where you installed the Firefox). In Windows it should be something like 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Plugins'. If plugins are there then this directory should NOT BE empty
You can also cross check whether the plugins are there are not via Firefox itself (Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins) See if this lists out anything or not.
Most probably what happened is that when the new version of the Firefox was installed it overwrote that 'plugins' directory and hence now is not able to find them.

How do i restore all my bookmarks from an earlier version of mozilla firefox?

Firefox has been reminding me to update my Firefox version. And I did. After installing the new version, it restarted my computer. Now the first thing I did is to restore my previous tabs, the tabs that were open when i upgraded Firefox. But there were no history of my tabs.
Then I started looking at my Bookmarks. I lost all my bookmarks. My heart is pumping now and I want to cry. these are years of bookmark collection from my various works. Am I being penalized?
Please help me. Can I just revert back to the old version? Will this permit me to access my old bookmarks (never mind the tabs, they are still fresh in my mind)? I can't even remember the old version of firefox I am using.
Why didn't Firefox made a warning?
I have been a user of Firefox for a long time. This is the first time that I have lost my bookmarks. This is painful. I seek your kind support. Thank you.

FAQ: How do I migrate my saved presets from an earlier version of Photoshop or import/export them?

You now have the option to migrate presets from a previous version, export presets and to save to a directory as a zip file (great for instructors).
Preset Migration migrates your saved presets, not your preferences. The message says "Would you like to migrate presets from the following versions?" It simply carries on the preset files you have already saved (things like Brush Tips, HDR Toning presets, Curve presets, Styles etc.) to CS6.
HOW TO USE PHOTOSHOP CS6 AUTOMATED PRESET MIGRATION
Photoshop CS6 offers the great new functionality of automated preset migration for your custom presets from Photoshop versions as far back as CS3.
When Photoshop CS6 launches for the first time, it checks for previous installations of Photoshop on the computer to see if there are custom presets that need to be migrated. Photoshop looks in each of these presets folders for your saved custom preset files that it can migrate.
Preset migration script copies all the files in user preset folders of older versions. If there are more than one preset files with the same name, presets from the newer version will be given priority. These types of presets will be migrated by the script:
3DLUTs, Actions, Black and White, Brushes, Channel Mixer, Color Books, Color Swatches, Contours, Curves, Custom Shapes, Deco, Duotones, Exposure, Flash 3D, Gradients, HDR Toning, Hue and Saturation, Levels, Lighting Effects, Lights, Materials, Meshes, Optimized Colors, Optimized Output Settings, Optimized Settings, Patterns, Render Settings, Repousse, Scripts, Styles, Tools, Video, Volumes, Widgets, Zoomify, and Workspaces
If this is not your first launch and you would like Photoshop to look for presets,
Choose Edit > Presets > Migrate Presets
When Photoshop notices that you have custom presets saved in their appropriate folders it will give the message "Would you like to migrate presets from the following versions?"
Choose Yes. Photoshop will begin the preset migration script.
When the migration has completed Photoshop will pop up another message saying:
"Preset files from older versions successfully migrated"
In order to use your newly migrated presets, you must restart Photoshop.
If you had Photoshop CS6 beta installed and have saved custom presets, you will need to export those presets before uninstalling the previous version and installing the release version of Photoshop CS6.
HOW TO SAVE PRESETS
For PS, check that you have saved all your presets using:
Edit>Preset Manager... (in previous versions) Edit>Presets>Preset Manager... (in CS6)
HOW TO IMPORT AND EXPORT PRESETS
In the main PS menu,
Choose Edit > Presets > Export/Import Presets
In this dialog you can export the presets and then import them when you load the new version using the same Export/Import dialog.
If you have gone through the automated preset migration and notice that some of your presets didn't get migrated with the rest, make sure you have exported your presets to their default folders.
PRESET FILE LOCATIONS:
(Note that there are two different folder locations for presets, one for application provided default presets, and one for user created preset files)
These are the presets that are unique to each user on the computer. These can be migrated automatically: (this is the location that the user should save their personal presets in)
Windows: Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets
Mac: Users/[Username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets
These are the default presets that ship with Photoshop. These presets can be imported but will not copy over using the migrate feature because each version of Photoshop will install defaults for that version.
Windows 64 bit:
    [Hard Drive]:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets
WindowsXP and Windows7 32 bit:
      [Hard Drive]:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets
Mac:
    [Hard Drive]/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets
Frequently used preset filename extensions:
ABR Brush preset
ACO Swatch preset
ASL Style preset
ATN Action preset
CSH Custom Shape preset
GRD Gradient preset
PAT Pattern preset
SHC Contour preset

Do you have an iPhoto Library from the old machine? If you have then simply open it - there's no importing involved.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
If you don't have an actual library there is no way to do what you want.

Why is Firefox 8 (installed over earlier version yesterday) crashing (pop-up shows crash details)?

Installed Firefox 8.01 yesterday (12-1-11) to replace Firefox 7.?). I thought it deletes unneeded FF 7 files. I ran the .exe file, thought installation went OK. Today, it keeps crashing on start-up with a message pop-up that a report will be sent to Mozilla about this. I can't check on Crash ID # or do any other things recommended, involving working with the Firefrox menu because Firefox won't open at all.
I'm accessing your web site, and sending this via Internet Explorer.

Hi Wilfred,
I didn't delete anything, but did try to reinstall Firefox 8.0.1 on top of whatever Firefox files were already in my computer. Most every time I tried to download Firefox 8.01 again, but each time, it failed to download. Finally, I tried another attempt to download it and it seemed to download. I completed the installation process as instructed.
And it worked. Or seems to work. This reply is being sent through the Firefox 8.01 browser after the "successful" installation. . I hope this installation will continue working well, as it is now!

Does ThinkVantage Password Manager work with Firefox 3.6. Earlier versions it would not work.

Last time I installed Firefox it would not load Lenovo ThinkVantage Password Manager as a plug in. Since then I have not used Firefox. I would like to again try Firefox but thought I would ask the question first. Can I use ThinkVantage Password Manager with Firefox 3.6?

Lenovo have released a patch that will make the ThinkVantage Password Manager work with Firefox 3.6 and higher. You can download it from:
